Ethical Design Manifesto

Respect:

• Human rights
• Human effort
• Human experience

@aral That's a pretty good list, and a great graphic. I would respectfully suggest that you include human health in your list.

@ZackF (cont.) I wonder if “healthy” (e.g., does not addict, etc.) should be included in the list of attributes that an ethically-designed product should have under the human rights section or whether it needs to be broken down into more specific/explicit aspects to be of more practical use and possibly split between the rights/effort/perhaps even experience sections (e.g., “non-addictive” spans all three).

Will continue to think about it… Thanks again :)

@aral Thanks for the thoughtful engagement. I just think that you could have a product that meets all of your guidelines but harms the users of the product. So like an app who's experience that meets your description of human rights, treats people respectfully, and is a wonderful experience, but because of all of the above, becomes addictive, and harms the user in the long run, or maybe has micro-payments and so slowly deprives them of resources.
